500 feet of RG 59 will transmit the Sat pulsed 13 to 18 volt signal. Years ago, I had a customer that was upset because his RV had RG 59 thru out and was told his tripod system would not work with RG 59. I had him set up his tripod and then connected the Cable/Antenna booster CORRECTLY(this was his problem) and he had reception. I then connected 2 rolls of 250 foot RG 59 between the RV and the Tripod and he STILL had signal and strength. RG 6 is BEST for any coax connection, but RG 59 will work for tripod type systems and the small portable Dome systems. RG 59 will be problematic for higher end roof top dome systems as they must use a special Coax(not just RG 6) for communication capability. Doug
